6.1. Reception tion on its country visits, as well as the conclusions of the on-site inspections conducted as part of my general activities aimed at protecting fundamental rights, and the CCB’s recommendations. 6.1. Reception Since persons deprived of their liberty are extremely vulnerable in the early stages of their detention, the NPM conducts a thorough examination of the reception procedure in every place of detention. In addition to the procedural acts of reception, e.g. medical examination, designation of the detainee’s bed, providing them with clothing, bedding, toiletry, the inspection also covers the in-house rules of the given place of detention, the contents of the briefing on the rules of behaviour, the security personnel, and the ways and conditions of keeping in touch with relatives. 6.2. Material conditions of detention The members of the visiting delegations inspect the premises, equipment, and furnishing of the places of detention. They examine the dimensions of the rooms used by the detainees, the size of the per capita living space, the conditions of the natural lighting and ventilation of the premises, the furnishing, access to drinking water and restrooms, the conditions of spending time in the open air, the washing facilities, the condition of the sanitary units and community rooms, as well as catering. 6.3. Vulnerable groups In my activities, I have to pay special attention to protecting the rights of children, nationalities living in Hungary, other most vulnerable groups of society, and persons living with disabilities, as well as to facilitating and monitoring the implementation of the related international treaties.96 Since this obligation of mine is relevant to performing tasks related to the NPM as well, the visiting delegations pay special attention to the prevention of the ill-treatment of women, young adults, homosexual, bisexual, and transsexual persons, as well as persons deprived of their liberty who are in need of medical care. 96 See Section 1(1)–(3) of the Ombudsman Act. 51
